The Triumph TR1 Sports Car

Sports blogger

A review of The Triumph TR1 Sports Car, covering development, important features, and technical data of this classic car.

In this Article, I offer a nostalgic review of the Triumph TR1, which acted as a forerunner to the TR2, and the rest of the classic car range.

The Triumph TR1 was originally given the designation Triumph 20TS. It was a prototype, and only one example was ever built.

In terms of appearance, it was, in some ways, reminiscent of its predecessor, the Triumph Roadster, which was manufactured between 1946 and 1949.

The Triumph 20TS was constructed using components that were available at that time. Accordingly:

The engine was a 1991 cc, 4-cylinder unit from the Standard Vanguard saloon
The suspension, from the Triumph Mayflower saloon, consisted of independent at the front, with a solid back axle at the rear, the same as that used in the Vanguard
The chassis was from the Standard 8 saloon which was, itself, based on that used in the Standard Flying Nine saloon of 1937 to 1940.

Since a high volume of sales was not expected from this classic car, then it was assigned a targeted selling price of 500 before sales tax.

In comparison, the Triumph Mayflower saloon of 1953 was selling for 505 including taxes.

Therefore, its design had to be economical. Because of this, all body panels were designed to require no more than one pressing.

The rear of the car was short and had rounded edges, with the spare wheel bolted to the boot.

The two seater Triumph 20TS was previewed in 1952 at the London Motor Show in Earls Court.

Its presence was met with mixed reactions. Typical of the criticisms was a somewhat cramped interior, and a distinct lack of space in the boot.

In order to assess the car’s handling and performance, the Standard Triumph chairman asked Ken Richardson, a test driver and BRM development engineer, to put it through its paces.

The outcome was that Richardson was unimpressed with the way the car handled, and its lack of performance. In fact, he described it as a “death trap”.

Apart from its poor handling, it had a top speed of only 80 mph, falling well short of the 90 mph targeted figure set by Standard Triumph.

As a result, Richardson was asked by the Company to completely redesign the car. He then set about:

Tuning and modifying the engine
Increasing the size of the brakes
Modifying the front suspension
Using alternative rear springs and shock absorbers
Strengthening the chassis to give greater rigidity
Making the car slightly wider and longer to improve both interior and boot space
Positioning the spare wheel inside the boot

The outcome from this extensive development of the Triumph 20TS was the birth of the Triumph TR2 which was presented, in 1953, at the Geneva Motor Show.

The reaction, this time, was completely different.

The Triumph 20TS heralded the creation of the Triumph TR range.

After the launch of the TR2, the 20TS was unofficially given the designation Triumph TR1.

This car set a world speed record for production cars in 1953, with a top speed of 200.9 km/hr.

It used a 1991 cc, straight-4, with overdrive, developing 90 bhp.

This marked the end of the Triumph TR1

Perhaps this stroll down memory lane might have answered, or at least shed light on, a possible question:

Which Triumph Sports Car Is Your Favourite?

However, should this question still remain unanswered, I will be reviewing, in some detail, in future articles within this website, the entire range of Triumph sports cars which were featured in the memorable era spanning 1953 to 1992.

I hope you join me in my nostalgic travels “down sports car memory lane”.

Career In Sports

Sports blogger

Future or career are the terms, which has been the top priority of every student. Whether its todays time or ages back, to have a flourishing career have always been the aim of every human being. The journey from school to college in India is really tough and a student has to be very cautious while taking decisions related to his career. It is very important for the student to take an intelligent decision while choosing a career for himself, because these are the steps which attribute to the achievement of his success.

The career choices for students have always been overpowered by the dream careers of their parents. These options generally range from opting for courses in engineering, medicine, computer sciences, law, language, business management, etc. But these choices are hardly of the interest of the students, the direction in which they would want their life to move on. Careers in sports, music, and dance can merely be seen even as an option given by the parents to students. According to them career in sports is not worth and the children generally waste their time by attending the classes for sports education.

But today the times have changed and career in sports has started being considered as a very valuable profession, which has the capability to make a student reach his dream destination. One can find a number of students opting for career in sports, in their respective fields of interest. The sports fields like cricket, hockey, badminton, chess, has certainly gained importance in todays time. This is also because of the implementation of the concept of globalization in almost every field. The global acceptance of the Indian players has paved the route for other students for having a flourishing career in sports. To give a boost to the sports career, government has started many training institutes and sports colleges in India. These colleges provide training to students in the sports field of their choice. Some of the colleges for sports in India are:

BPCAS College of Physical Education, Mumbai
Indira Gandhi Institute of Physical Education and Sports Sciences, Delhi
Utkal University, Bhubaneshwar
University of Delhi
Dhyan Chandra Sports College, Lucknow
University of Madras, Tamil Nadu
Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, Indore
Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar
Degree College of Physical Education, Gujarat
Rajasthan Mahila Physical Teachers Training Vidyalaya, Udaipur

Also, with the commencement of different games in India, the importance and acceptance of sports as a career has increased to a lot. The career growth and the financial status of a sports person is touching heights these days, due to which more number of students can be seen getting enrolled in the sports career. A student can opt for career in sports in any of the fields of his interest which can range from cricket to football, chess to carom, volleyball to football or hockey to table tennis. There are many professions which can be opted by the students, after doing graduation or post graduation courses in sports. Most of the students prefer doing graduation in physical education, to have good understanding about the sports field and how they can keep themselves fit and healthy. Following is a list of professions, which are generally opted by people, who do not actually practice the game on field or professional athletes:

Coaches for the professional players, college coaches, or volunteers
Instructors for martial arts, driving or swimming
Career in sports management or administration
Career in Sports journalism in any of the media forms, whether its print, radio or television
Career in sports medicine, such as, athletic therapist, sports physician, etc.
Sports photographer
Sports psychology consultant

Thus, one can surely hope for a positive growth and a prospering career in the sports field. Sports Colleges in India has come up with great facilities and infrastructure for imparting better education to its students, which again adds to the factor of growth for the Indian sports persons.

The Case Against Sports Drinks In Schools

Sports blogger

The beverage industry produces enough soda for every American to consume 52-gallons each year. Although its a mind-boggling amount, the fact of the matter is their industry is stagnating. With soda sales flat, theyre turning to newer products. One of their most popular markets is the educational system. Marketed under the guise of being healthier than plain water, and an implication they are more efficient at meeting hydration needs, sports drinks have become a prominent fixture in many schools. But do they meet those claims, or are they just contributing to the obesity epidemic among U.S. children?

Research by the American College of Sports Medicine has shown that for exercise lasting less than one hour, water is the preferred method of meeting hydration needs. Their research suggests that the loss of electrolytes and carbohydrates from exercise meeting this requirement does not require the burst supplied by sports drinks that one typically gets from a modern sports drink. Their research also has shown that for activities lasting more than one hour, or occurring under intense heat, there are benefits to using sports drinks for hydration. The rapid and continuous loss of minerals under these conditions presents a risk to participants, and replenishing them rapidly improves hydration and athletic performance.

Interestingly enough, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the consumption of water, or a salt-containing flavored beverage to maintain hydration. Not only do they suggest such drinks, but the recommend children consume them regularly, regardless of whether they are thirsty.

Nutritional experts are beginning to question the need for having sports drinks available to kids during regular school hours. The logic of such an argument is that the activities occurring during regular school hours can not justify the extra calories kids consume when drinking these drinks. It has also been suggested that the extra electrolytes, which are just salt compounds, may even contribute to rising blood pressure among kids, when consumed in the absence of physical exertion. While the suggestions are controversial, most regulators are recommending limiting access during school hours, but making these beverages available during after school events and practices.

It seems inevitable that eventually, these drinks will be deemed of little nutritional or functional value for regular school day activities. After all, it doesnt seem reasonable to assume that kids or teens are at risk of becoming deficient in electrolytes while walking between classes. While they certainly offer benefits when consumed during intense exercise, theres little evidence to support the idea that they offer any positive benefits for normal day-to-day activity.
